Hello all,

I've been told by the previous owner of my mini ('87 city e 998cc) that the engine is 'Running Rich' and that it needs a 'Tune-up'

There is a strong smell of petrol while the engine is running also.

Is this an easy thing to do? and how would i go about doing it?

Thanks!

Other than the smell of fuel, how us it running?

Does it start well from cold and when warm? Idles smoothly? Pulls ok?
